Only one more day until our online Leaves talks return!

After a summer break, we are starting our autumn programme of talks with Tamsin Greaves who will be exploring the importance of engaging young people with art and heritage.

In her MA Museum and Heritage Development research project 'The Real Thing', Tamsin details how vital it is that young people are given the opportunity to see and experience art and heritage in 'real life. In this talk, Tamsin will explore her research behind her project with her case study of introducing the #leavesofsouthwell to Newark secondary school pupils.
